   Can community health workers play a greater role in increasing access to medical abortion services? A qualitative study

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Despite being legally available in India since 1971, barriers to safe and legal abortion remain, and unsafe and/or illegal abortion continues to be a problem. Community health workers have

2. Joint effect of obesity and TNFA variability on asthma: two international cohort studies (Publications)

   Joint effect of obesity and TNFA variability on asthma: two international cohort studies

   Relevance:

   Obesity is a risk factor for asthma. Adipose tissue expresses pro-inflammatory molecules including tumour necrosis factor (TNF), and levels of TNF are also related to polymorphisms in the TNF-alpha (T

3. Defining the next generation of <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> diagnostic tests for control and elimination: target product profiles (Publications)

   Defining the next generation of <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> diagnostic tests for control and elimination: target product profiles

   Relevance:

   The global prevalence of malaria has decreased over the past fifteen years, but similar gains have not been realized against Plasmodium vivax because this species is less responsive to conventional ma

4. Development and evaluation of a bioinformatics approach for designing molecular assays for viral detection (Publications)

   Development and evaluation of a bioinformatics approach for designing molecular assays for viral detection

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Viruses belonging to the Flaviviridae and Bunyaviridae families show considerable genetic diversity. However, this diversity is not necessarily taken into account when developing diagnosti

   Interventions that effectively target <em>Anopheles funestus</em> mosquitoes could significantly improve control of persistent malaria transmission in south-eastern Tanzania

   Relevance:

   Malaria is transmitted by many Anopheles species whose proportionate contributions vary across settings. We re-assessed the roles of Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus, and examined potential
